Thanks! I just had a very good laugh. Amazon and credbility in one sentence. Wonderful!Packard said:That website is Woot!, an Amazon owned company. The tracks ship from Amazon.
So, I assumed it had at least a reasonable amount of credibility. I did not try to negotiate the site.
Cheese said:Packard, I tried to answer your question earlier but navigating that website is abysmal...if the website is that horrific why would one expect the product to be any better?
No search feature and all clicks lead to a dead end...that's enough for me to throw my hands up and move on.
squall_line said:1. The design of the woot! site is intentional; it's meant to be a place where one only finds products via wanderlust and discovery, or through social media posts and sites like FatWallet. Most of the items are overstocks or refurbs.
Also, despite being owned by Amazon, the return policy is significantly different. Many items don't qualify for free return shipping, and some are not returnable at all for any reason. Caveat emptor.
All that said, it would not surprise me in the least if the Eastvolt business model is much the same as Vevor, banggood, and all of the other knock-off variants. As others have mentioned, the price of the materials in that rail should exceed the sales price, assuming it's made of anything resembling medium quality materials.
2. Buying that rail just contributes further to the "race to the bottom", even if you just turn around and return it or scrap it.
It's more like walking into a grocery store in search of milk (which is always in the far corner intentionally) and passing by junk food shelves. They want you look through everything, but you can narrow items to a category.Cheese said:1. Seriously? That would certainly explain why there is no search function. [blink] What a goofy deal that is, a complete waste of time. It's like walking into a maze in the middle of a corn field.
